When Mr.. Aston and Ernest reached the
motel, there was still quarter of an hour to
elapse before the table dhotc, so, after wash
ing his hands and putting on black coat
Ernest went down into the salon. There was
only one other person in it, a tall, fair
Frenchwoman, apparently about so years Of
age, She was standing by the empty fire
place, her arm upon he mantelpiece, and n
lace pocket handkerchief in her hand; and
Ernest's first impression of her was that she
was handsome and much oyerdreSsod There
was Figaro upon the mantelpieCe which he
desired to get possession Of, As he advanced
for this purpose, the lady dropped her hand

"Mille remerciments, monsieur" she said,
with little courtesy
ode tout, madame.n
"Ah, monsieur, parle francaisl'
"Mais oui, madame"
And then they drifted into a conversation,
in the course Of which Ernest learned that
madame thought Dieppe very dull; that she
had been there three dayii with her friends,
and was nearly dead de trstesse; that she
was going, however, to the public dance at
the Entertainment rooms that night. "Of
course monsieur would be there and many
other things, for madame had a considerable
command Of language.
In the middle of all this the door opened
and another lady of much the same cut as mad.
anne entered followed by two young men.
The first of these had a face of the common
place English type, rather good humored
face; but when he saw the second Ernest
started, it was so like his own, as his would
become If he We're 10 spend half a dozen years

so much older than you. We age so much
quicker, you know. ! feel about old enough
to be your mother" she said, with pretty
assumption of dignity.
"And feel quite old enough TO be your

ago anybody had told me that should be in
love to-day with boy of 81, l would not have
believed them. Dear, l have given you all my
heart; you will not betray it, will youi You
know very young men are apt to change
their minds
He flushed q little as he answered, feel
ing that it was tiresome to have the unlucky
fact that he was only 81 50 persistently thrust
before him.
"Then they are young men who have not
had the honor Of winning your affections. A
man who had once loved you could never for
get you. Indeed it is more likely that you
will forget me- you will have plenty Of
temptation to do so."
She saw that she had vexed him. "Dont
be angry, dear; but you see the position is q
very difficult one, and, IL l could not be quite
sure of you, it would be intolerable.n

Our company is to be merged into another very
large cattle syndicate, and, having abundant
capital, we propose to buy up every retail butch

our negotiations are not successful, We will open
three or four hundred independent retail shops.
